| Summary | "Principle in Art, Etc." by Coventry Patmore is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores themes of art, aesthetics, and criticism, advocating for a foundational understanding of artistic principles while critiquing contemporary criticism. Patmore examines the relationship between beauty and truth and emphasizes the importance of genuine artistic integrity and the role of criticism in elevating public taste. The opening of the collection begins with a preface where Patmore reflects on the value of true criticism in art, contrasting it with what he terms "pseudo-criticism." He argues that effective criticism should rely on a firm grounding in principles rather than on mere subjective appreciation of beauty. Patmore highlights the influence that a single principled critique can have on art and public perception, using historical examples to illustrate his arguments. As he sets the stage for the essays that follow, he illustrates the necessity of a discerning, knowledgeable public to foster genuine artistic expression.
